Re:Twitter caught faking users’ tweets by ampersandy on Wednesday July 24, 2013 @01:07PM (#6097389)
Most feature launches that need a 'scapegoat' use employees' likenesses or profiles. For example:

- the 'Twitter Teacher' who appears in the sign up flow used to work at Twitter;

- and, the profiles used in the verification flow are also employees (http://dashes.com/anil/2013/03/what-its-like-being-verified-...).

I agree that this was unprofessional though and hope the offenders learn from the mistake.
